Can actors be detected by lasser sensor?

I'm trying to detect some actors using the lasser sensor provided by gazebo, but it never collides with the model, is there a way to do it?

You need to use a gpu_ray sensor, not a ray sensor. Unfortunately, there's no example of a GPU ray sensor in the model database, but you can try this world:

I had the same issue and the solution bellow works fine.

The only thing is that you must change the SDF/URDF file of your sensor.
